The Cowboy and the IRS Genie

A modern day cowboy had spent many days crossing the Texas Plains without water. His horse had already died of thirst. He was crawling through the sand, certain that he had breathed his last breath - when all of a sudden he saw an object sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him.
He crawled to the object, pulled it out of the sand, and discovered what looked to be an old brief case. He opened it and out popped a genie. But this was no ordinary genie. She was wearing an IRS ID badge and a dull gray dress. There was a calculator in her pocketbook. She had a pencil tucked behind one ear. "Well, cowboy," said the genie... "You know how I work. You have three wishes."
"I'm not falling for this," said the cowboy. "I'm not going to trust an IRS genie."
She smiled and said, "What do you have to lose? You've got no transportation, and it looks like you're a goner anyway!"
The cowboy thought about this for a minute, and decided that the genie was right. He said, "OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with plenty of food and drink."
***POOF***
The cowboy found himself in the most beautiful oasis he had ever seen. And he was surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.
The genie said, "OK, cowpoke, what's your second wish."
"My second wish is that I was rich beyond my wildest dreams."
***POOF***
The cowboy found himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare gold coins and precious gems.
The genie said, "OK, cowpuncher, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good one!"
After thinking for a few minutes, the cowboy said... "I wish that no matter where I go, beautiful women will want and need me."
***POOF***
He turned into a tampon.
The moral of the story: If the government offers you anything, there's going to be a string attached.

I saw an act of faith today. A man was on his knees, not in a pew in a Church, but in a garden planting seeds. ~~Unknown
